New to SJ not posted before - be gentle ....

I am currently working with a skydiving accuracy champion, who has returned to the sport after retiring back in 2001. He has just turned 60 and wants to prove to himself and the world he's still got it! And he has, as last year he came 2nd in the British Championships securing his place in the British Team for the World Championships in Bulgaria in August 2018.

So far he has self-funded but could really do with a helping hand from sponsorship. Does anyone have any ideas of where I should be going with his story. He trains locally at Dunkerswell Aerodrome near his home town of Tiverton and attends Petroc Gym with his son, Luke aged 27, who has planned his Gym programme to get him into shape for the mammoth task ahead.

If anyone has any advice of how I can get some coverage of his story and spread the word to hopefully get him the sponsorship he needs that would be great. I have already approached the local media close to his home town. Thanks in advance.

 

I think you're actually looking for www.publicrelationsprofessionals.com, instead of www.sportsjournalists.com.

 

Just wondered if their were any Sports Journalists looking for stories like this or knew of sports publications that might be - thanks for responding Justin.

 

Fetch us a beer, Newb .... please.

 

I cannot think of a two-word phrase that sounds more British than "Dunkerswell Aerodrome."

"Bloody hell" is the only one even close that comes to mind.

 

And not any of that warm shite you limeys like to drink.

 

"buggered senseless"
"vigorous rogering"

 

Benny Hill was funny.

Imagine the #metoo wrath he'd be facing these days.

 

Hi Lorna, you may want to check with Stephanie, who turned to us for advice about marketing the SuperBat 3000.

 

She lost me after gentle.

 

Hmmmm.....

 

Welcome aboard, Lorna.
